Ultimate ceramic veneer: a laboratory-guided preparation technique for minimally invasive laminate veneers

J Calif Dent Assoc. 2012 Jun;40(6):489-94.

Abstract

Clinical success of ceramic laminate veneers depends on material selection, bonding procedures, controlled laboratory steps, and enamel preservation. Enamel preservation is the most critical because excessive tooth preparation can expose dentin reducing bond strength, which is a factor that can cause a decrease in long-term clinical success. The proposed technique based on carefully treatment planning developed between clinician and dental technician helps to maximize enamel preservation, which is an important element for clinical success.
